Nyamilandu and Jordaan went into a run off following a close result after the first ballot, however, the former came out tops with a whopping 53 votes to the latter’s 35.

The elections came off on Sunday during CAF’s Extraordinary Congress in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

It had become necessary to elect a new Fifa Council Member following the suspension of Nyantakyi from all football related activities.

The ex-GFA boss was initially given a 90-day provisional ban by Fifa, before it was later extended by a further 45 days after he was captured reportedly taking a cash gift in a documentary by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

The suspension led to the Wa All Stars owner resigning from positions he held, including that of the Fifa Council membership.
